Kuwaiti passport holders can visit Georgia without a visa for up to 360 days per entry. This policy, effective in 2026, makes Georgia a straightforward destination for Kuwaiti travellers.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must cover your entire stay in Georgia | Your Kuwaiti passport needs to be valid for the full duration of your stay. Georgia does not require 6 months of remaining validity — just enough to cover the dates you plan to be in the country. Airlines at Kuwait International Airport may still ask for 6 months, so check with your carrier before departure. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Recommended for visa-free entry | Immigration officers at Tbilisi International Airport rarely ask for a return ticket, but budget airlines flying into Georgia sometimes check at check-in. Have a printed or digital onward booking ready — a refundable ticket or a bus ticket to a neighboring country works fine. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended for visa-free entry | Border officers may ask where you are staying, especially if you arrive without a hotel booking. Have a printed hotel confirmation or a letter from a host in Georgia ready. Airbnb bookings are accepted. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Recommended for visa-free entry | Georgia does not have a fixed minimum cash requirement, but officers may ask how you plan to support yourself during a long stay. Carry a bank statement showing at least $500–$1,000 USD equivalent, or have a credit card with a reasonable limit. | Recommended |
360-day stay is generous — but plan your exit
You can stay up to 360 days without a visa, but you cannot extend it. If you overstay, you may face fines or a re-entry ban. Set a reminder to leave before day 360.
No visa, no fee — just show up
Kuwaiti passport holders enter Georgia visa-free with no application, no fee, and no paperwork. Just your passport and a return ticket.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Tbilisi or Kutaisi airport
You'll land at Tbilisi International Airport (TBS) or Kutaisi International Airport (KUT). Follow signs to 'Passport Control'.
2
Join the non-EU queue
At passport control, join the queue for 'All Passports' or 'Non-EU Citizens'. Kuwaiti passport holders use this line.
3
Present your passport
Hand over your passport. The officer may ask your purpose of visit, how long you're staying, and where you're staying. Answer briefly and honestly.
4
Receive your entry stamp
The officer stamps your passport with the entry date. Check the stamp before leaving the counter — it shows your allowed stay (up to 360 days).
5
Collect luggage and exit
After passport control, collect your bags from the carousel and walk through the green 'Nothing to Declare' channel if you have no goods to declare.
